Patriots Super Bowl champion has strong reaction to Rams' trade for All-Pro DE Myles Garrett

For starters, this was a Rams team that was no stranger to making offseason moves even prior to the deal for Garrett on Monday. While they lost Pro Bowl edge-rusher Jared Verse as part of the deal, they previously traded for All-Pro Trent McDuffie and signed Jaylen Watson to a new deal.

They also retained key impactful players on the roster as well including safety Kam Curl, tight end Tyler Higbee, running back Ronnie Rivers and inside linebacker Grant Stuard, highlighting their "all-in" approach as they look to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in front of their home crowd when SoFi Stadium hosts Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027.

This Rams offense has all the tools to make another run with Stafford, Williams, Nacua and Davante Adams. However, their defense gave up the 10th-fewest points per game (21.3 PPG) in 2025, so there is plenty reason to believe that unit will improve tremendously with Garrett's presence on the field.

Garrett equaled his career-high with 60 total tackles last season, in addition to his 23 sacks that broke former New York Giants pass-rusher Michael Strahan's single-season record (22.5 in 2001). For comparison, the Rams had 47 sacks as a team last season, another sign of the immense impact that Garrett can make.

While the trade for Garrett has led to rumors of defensive star Aaron Donald coming out of retirement and joining the stacked Rams unit, the addition of Garrett has already improved the Super Bowl outlook for the Rams next season with FanDuel giving them the best odds (+550) as of Tuesday.

It was easy to view the Rams as one of the league's top contenders coming out of the 2025 campaign. With Garrett joining the team and a lot of key returnees and offseason additions rounding out the mix, the rest of the league could be in trouble.
